Pillowy egg white clouds with avocado and poached eggs. Gluten-free, high-protein, and ready in just 30 minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ For the Cloud Bread

01 - 4 large eggs, separated
02 - 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
05 - 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)

→ For the Topping

06 - 2 ripe avocados, sliced
07 - 4 large eggs (for poaching)
08 - 1 tablespoon white vinegar (for poaching water)
09 - Salt and pepper, to taste
10 - Fresh chives, chopped (optional, for garnish)
11 - Red pepper flakes (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Separate the 4 eggs, placing whites in one large, clean bowl and yolks in separate small bowls.
03 - Add cream of tartar and a pinch of salt to the egg whites. Using an electric mixer, beat the whites until stiff peaks form.
04 - Gently fold in black pepper and Parmesan cheese (if using).
05 - Spoon the whipped egg whites onto the prepared baking sheet in 4 mounds. Use the back of a spoon to create a small well in the center of each mound.
06 - Bake for 5 minutes, then carefully add one yolk into each well. Return to oven and bake for another 4-5 minutes, or until the whites are set and lightly golden.
07 - Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of water to a gentle simmer. Add vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into the simmering water. Poach for 3–4 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
08 - To serve, top each cloud bread with avocado slices and a poached egg. Season with salt, pepper, and optional garnishes.

  • Peak Performance: Ensure your mixing bowl is completely free of grease or yolk to allow the egg whites to reach their full, stiff-peaked volume.
  • Gentle Folding: Use a light hand when adding the cheese and pepper to avoid deflating the air you worked so hard to whip into the whites.
  • Water Drainage: Use a slotted spoon and paper towels to ensure the poached eggs are dry before plating to prevent the cloud bread from becoming soggy.
